The point remains that entries for historic iris
in the encyclopedia have to be manually edited to
indicate their status as historic - this creates
a tremendous amount of work that could easily
have been avoided had the wiki been set up
to allow more than one designation for a given
entry (e.g. historic or rebloomer in addition
to TB, IB, etc.). I also am not aware of any
easy way to search for historics in the wiki.

Is it any wonder that HIPS has not been particularly
enthusiastic about embracing the wiki, when their
iris of interest are given second-class status?

Gesine you can already do this and I am working with Mike to get his pedigree charts there. You are just trying to do it in a way that does not work. I will explain later. Historic is a different type of classification than TB or IB. and is accomplished in other ways. The pedigree charts have been a particular interest and I have some ways to get them there but I am hoping to create some even better ways that would be more elegant in that they will display thumbnail images in the pedigree.

Hi Robert Pries and all,

OK, while you're thinking about changes to the Iris Encyclopedia, why not
figure out how to make it so you can have a cultivar in more than one
category?

Four people have separately asked me about this -- that you can't put an
iris in as both e.g. "tall bearded" and as "historic", and pointed out that
this makes it a lot harder to look up historics on the encyclopedia.

You could start with Mike Lowe's pedigree sheets, by just putting the
pages-as-is up, somewhere in the encyclopedia.
